Very pretty yarn – the Malabrigo looks so squishy! Good luck with your Auction!

I was drooling over the knitted whit yarn, I love the color and it looks like a dream to knit with.

I wasn’t cool, I was really cold at Rhinebeck. Love the yarn and I think the cowl idea is really good, especially with chunky yarn.

Maybe the attraction to chunky yarn has to do with the turning of the seasons. Any day now we’ll be needing big warm things–and we can get them more quickly with chunky.

I was just going to suggest a cowl. They are so in right now and therefore very appealing to High Schoolers.

I just wanted to say that not *all* the cool kids were at Rhinebeck last weekend. You and I are cool, and so are our knit/spin buddies!

Oh, it’s not stash because I’m actually knitting with it! See the pix?

The yarn from Knitted Wit was a blog contest prize, I think. It doesn’t count as real stashing since I didn’t buy it…honest!

Leslie’s right, for someone who doesn’t have a stash, you’re increasing it a bit.

Suggestion for one of your cowl ideas – adaptable to be a slouchy hat. I think I saw one in the new Knitted Gifts book, but too lazy to go check. hehehe

How excellent! I can hardly wait to see what you come up with! And I even have 6 skeins of Sheep Shop 2 (3 in 2 different colors) so I’ll enjoy seeing some potential options for my stash yarn!

BTW, I seem to recall you had posted previously that you ‘don’t stash’. I swear, I remember reading that-and it haunted me cuz I dreamnt about that a week or two later! Was it all just a dream?
